' STATES HOMER THEODORE RUSSELL, OF MIAMI, OKLAHOMA SUPPORT Application filed November 9, 1931. Serial No. 573356.

This invention appertains to new and usetul improvements in supports, and more particularly to a novel support for installation on the head casing of door opening frames whereby swings, baby walkers, bird cages,

children@ athletic equipment and other devices can be Suspended within the door openngs.

An important object of the nvention is to provide a support of the character stated which can be quickly mounted in place and removed equally as quick when desired.

Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawing:-

Figure l represents a vertical fragm-entary sectional View through the head casng of a door trim showing the support mounted in place thereon.

Fig. 2 represents a horizontal sectional View taken substantially on line 2-2 of F ig. l.

Fig. 3 represents an edge elevational view of the support.

Referrin to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numerals 5-5 represent the side boards of the head casing of a door opening frame, while numerals 6-6 represent trims or moldings therefor.

In carrying out the present invention, it will be observed, that numeral 7 generally reters to the support which is substantially in U-shape, having its bight portion 8 provided with a downwardly ofiset portion 9 providing a saddle to which a rope or chain link can be attached. The leg portions of this U-shaped support 7 are converged inwardly at their intermediate portions, as at 10 and these portions 10 are equipped with resilient tubular jackets ll which bear against the side boards 5-5, and while steadying the support 7, do not mar the side boards.

The upper end portion of the U-shaped support 7 are curved inwardly as at 13 and downwardly and are pointed at their ends to bite into the upper edge portons of the side boards 5-5, as in the manner substantally shown in Fig. 1. While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is A support of the character described comprising a U-shaped member having its end portions bent inwardly and baclwardly and pointed, the intermediate portions of the leg portions of the U-shaped member being converged inwardly and provided with resilient jackets, the bight portion of said U-shaped members being formed with a downwardly oftset portion defining a saddle for reeeiving a suspension element.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
